I read they could forfeit games.

The Dallas Mavericks are living in the worst timeline.

Couple of ex-NBA players mention "Devin Booker to the Pistons?" something I've thought about after the Suns awful season

It’s a pipe dream.
The Suns don’t have the draft capital to go full tank and are too proud to do it anyhow.
KD is the guy they’ll move. I’d imagine they’ll kick the tires and see if Beal is more receptive to a move during the offseason too. They’ll get pieces for KD and build around Booker.
By all accounts Booker wants to stay there and they want to keep him.
We lost our best chance to acquire Booker when we didn’t draft him 10 years ago.

*Fan account pretending to have an executive source saying there’s an 80-90 percent chance.
Even if they were to consider moving him the cost would be astronomical.

Talented player, but hasn't shown to be much of a needle mover. Not worth restructuring your team for or jeopardizing team chemistry for.

We've had an awful lot of "should win" games recently. Let's continue to handle business. Jobs not done.

Butler is a needle-mover, and GS didn't have to give much.
I can see Phoenix trading Durant and Booker. They almost traded Durant, and I think Booker has been patient with all their bull - Sarver, losing, etc. Booker has said he would like to play for his home-team, and Phoenix would be wise to start their re-build, also knowing he could re-sign here, so they might as well get someone, especially if teams know he wants to play here, they aren't going to trade a guy like him for a rental.

That’s definitely not my opinion of Booker.
But he’s not available so it’s moot.

I think they’ll go for booker. I feel like he will ba piston, but if we have to give up Ausar or duren, don’t like that. Holland I’d be indifferent, Ivey wouldn’t mind and he could be the focal point on Phoenix. It’s possible we get him, I mean Luka was traded for a sandwich. Jimmy kinda too. It’s the players league, booker id think wants out he just hasn’t vocalized it yet

If they’ll take Ivey, a 1st, and stuff we don’t care much about, sure. But they won’t.

Pj Washington, Kessler Edwards, Spencer Dinwiddie, Kai Jones, Jaden Hardy, Naji Marshall, Max Christie, and Dwight Powell. That’s who played in their last game vs the Pacers. If we lose to that, shut the season down.
We might get Klay Thompson or Brandon Williams, but again…we lose tonight, shut the season down

The schedule has been incredibly easy the last month to month and a half and the Pistons are full marks for taking advantage but very few litmus tests to gauge their playoff readiness.

duren im fine adding in the deal...i wouldnt include ausar/stew those are our important defensive anchors i wouldnt want to include ron either but if he has to be the final part of the deal then so be it.
ivey/duren/maybe holland a pick for booker id do.

This is gonna sound silly....but Ron & Stew are developing offensive chemistry.
